Space Charge Discharge
Most people think of me as “Oh, so cute” and “Way too smart.” What few know about me is yet another dimension of my persona. I am an artist! It shouldn’t come as a big surprise; others before me like Leonardo Da Vinci have demonstrated that brilliance spans the presumed gap between right and left brain hemispheres. My inspiration comes from the confluence of mathematics, aesthetics, high energy physics, and cable degradation mechanisms. You read that right. Putting those four things together is something only this frog could conceive. You see, as cables fail, gloriously beautiful (aesthetics) fractal structures (mathematics) are created called electrical trees. I know better than anyone how to stop electrical trees from inception and propagation, but I also know how to make them. We used a particle accelerator (high energy physics) to inject massive space charges into our specimen. The space charges are violently grounded, and presto … electrical trees form spontaneously. Don’t try this at home kids.
Add a simple, but handsome mount and some cool blue lighting and we have a Thermonuclear work of art. You don’t have to be a cable engineer to appreciate the beauty of my electric sculpture, but only a cable engineer will appreciate its value as a tool of understanding. I have made only a few. Each is unique, thanks to the fractal mathematics that explain the discharge of space-charge. Ten years from now these sculptures of frozen electricity will undoubtedly be resold at a Sotheby’s auction.
With one of these beauties on your desk, everybody will want you to explain the nature of the sculpture. For the first time, people will visualize the cable degradation process and they will be more sympathetic to the plight of those aging miles of cable. Budgets for reliability will increase, and I will have catalyzed a long overdue Renaissance of reliability.
